Nor did it detract from the impressiveness of the scene or the tone of the debate that half the delegates and the speakers were women. "Our educational and social ideals have declared that overalls do not go with dignity and respectability, and that education is a means of escape from labor," said Prof. J. B. .Reynolds, President of the Ontario Agricultural College, in an address delivered at the Imperial Conference of Teachers' Associations. He went on to say that the unsettled condition of rural life in Canada was due to the social stigma that had been cast upon farm labor. "Farms have changed hands, and thus a means for continuing good farming practice has been wanting. There have been no traditions possible with a shifting farm occupancy. ___ Whole families have moved from country to town, and there has been when Lord Byng opens the Can-a similar want of rural social tradi- adian National Exhibition, Aug. 27, tion.

Ottawa, Ont.--The apple crop throughout the Dominion, though seriously affected by recent drought, is still likely to average better than last year. Reports received by the Department of Agriculture indicate that 1919 Canadian fishermen caught 230^ 770 cwts., valued at approximately $1,500,000, of which 74,897 barrels were put up, valued at $1,038,000."

St. Johns, Nfld.--An agreement has the Newfound- land Government and the D'Arcy Exploration Company, a subsidiary company of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Limited, to prospect and survey unoccupied lands (Crown) within the next two years.

Their operations must be continuously carried rural tutorial classes to the benefit of the young men an on the farms of Ontario. those by invitation had gathered the Legislative Council Chamber, where the ceremony of swearing was to take place. The scene was c of much brilliance. Against a background of vivid red, the color schemi of the chamber, there stood out the golds, reds and blacks of the uniforms of the military officers present, the sombre tones of the uniforms of Premier Meighen and his Cabinet Ministers, who are Privy Councillors; the scarlet robes of Cardinal Begin, and the variegated tints of the ladies' dresses. The administrator of the Government of Canada and others to officiate in the installation having taken their allotted places, there was a short pause, broken by the announcement that the Governor-General had arrived. His Excellency and Lady Byng entered the chamber preceded by representatives of the militia, air forces and navy, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, and aides do camp to the Governor-General. After the Governor-General had taken his stand on a dais, Mrs. Meighen presented Lady Byng with a bouquet of white roses. Lord Byng's commission as~GTJvernor-General was then read by his military secretary, Capt. O. P. C. Balfour, His Excellency immediately afterwards taking the oath of allegiance to tha King and swearing to "well and truly"' ise his office as Governor-Gen-md subscribing his name in the oath book. He was next handed the great seal of Canada by Thomas Mul-vey, under-Secretary of "State, which, according to custom, he handed back to Mr. Mulvey "for safe keeping." The proclamation of the Governor-General's swearing in ordering the Government of the Dominion to continue was ready, and after His Excellency had signed it it was sealed with his privy seal. The ceremony ended with the playing of the National Anthem by the band in attendance. The installation ceremonies completed, a salute of nineteen guns from the citadel shook the building. There was for a moment or two after they had been fired a solemn and tense silence, testifying to the effect upon the gathering of the dramatic episode: in the country's history which had just' been enacted. Woi "Over Here," an all-Canadian spectacle, will be the feature at the Canadian National Exhibition. The scene will show the Rockies, Halifax and the grain fields and will be 800 feet long. Weekly Market Report The Community Sing in which all people in the grand stand join w,ll be repeated at the Canadian National Exhibition this year. R. B. Maxwell Dominion President of the G.W.V.A., was chosen by that Assocfation to present Lord Byng with a gold badge and a scroll of honorary membership on his arrival at Ottawa. Unity of Effort in Peace as in War A despatch from Quebec says:--At the luncheon tendered him on Thursday at Quebec Lord Byng, the new Governor-General, in vibrant tones, told of the hope with which he enters on his Canadian duties. He said: "I venture to hope that I shall receive from all citizens of Canada the same sympathy and confidence that was given so ungrudgingly by those gallant Canadians with whom I had the honor of serving during the war. "Since then we find ourselves in altered circumstances; then as soldiers, we were doing our best to defend the Commonwealth --now, as citizens, we shall strive to maintain and advance it To that end we of the British Commonwealth will believe that the interests of no class, no party, no nation, may override the common interests of all. "We shall, I hope, bring to the duties of peace the comradeship forged in the war. I shall indeed be happy if I can rely on the support of all Canadians in the same way that I relied on the cordial co-operation of those men that Canada sent to represent her in the days of stress."
